Ye Xian and Cang Lie both nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with emotion.
They knew very well that their teacher had just emerged from seclusion and probably didn't know that during this time, the Primordial Holy Heaven had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Their junior brother, whom they had taken for granted, was no longer the same person he used to be.
Now, he is the head of the Supreme Institute, and in terms of status, he is far above Sacred Master Yunzhao.
"Seclusion?"
Sacred Master Yunzhao frowned at first, then quickly realized what he meant and scolded, "What do you mean, 'Head of the Academy'? I was asking about Lin Xuan, not the Head of the Academy!"
After saying that, he gave Chang Ling'er a reproachful look.
This girl is really something, has she gone mad?
Chang Ling'er received a reproachful look and immediately felt a little wronged, muttering, "But Junior Brother Lin Xuan is the head of the academy, the newly appointed head of our Supreme Institute."
What?
Sacred Master Yunzhao was slightly taken aback, almost unable to believe what he had just heard.
This was even more unbelievable than telling her that after she went into seclusion for a while, the Demon Battlefield had spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent.
Chang Ling'er could understand Sacred Master Yunzhao's confusion, and quickly said, "Teacher, during the time you were in seclusion, so many things happened in our Primordial Holy Heaven. Please don't worry, let me tell you slowly."
As she spoke, Chang Ling'er slowly began to recount the story to Sacred Master Yunzhao from the beginning.
From Lin Xuan's meteoric rise to become the leader of the Ten Saints, to his return and being personally appointed as the head of the Supreme Institute by the dean...
The more Sacred Master Yunzhao listened, the more astonished he became, as if he were listening to a book written in heaven.
Looking at the unwavering certainty on the faces of her three disciples, she even began to wonder if these three little devils had conspired together to play a trick on her.
otherwise...
Do they even know what they're saying?!
Lin Xuan!
That cheap disciple of hers!
He softened his heart and accepted the disciple that Sacred Master Ziyan didn't want!
Not only did he win first place in the academy competition, but he also became the leader of the Ten Saints, crushing Wan Renshan within the tower?
If that's not outrageous enough, then Lin Xuan becoming the head of the academy and taking control of the entire Supreme Institute in one fell swoop...
This is absolutely outrageous!
Even if she, a mere disciple at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, were to actually win first place in the academy competition, she would still be a far cry from becoming the academy master!
What position is the head of the Supreme Institute?
Only Half-Saint would be qualified to hold that position!
Where is Lin Xuan?
What is his cultivation level?
But...
Regardless of how Sacred Master Yunzhao viewed it, the disciples before him did not seem to be joking.
Chang Ling'er said helplessly, "Teacher, we know this is outrageous and hard to believe, but it is absolutely true!"
Sacred Master Yunzhao was still in shock.
She never expected that her junior disciple, whom she didn't have much faith in, would rise to become her superior during her time in seclusion...
Head of the Supreme Institute?
this.
this!
"Besides this, what else is there? Tell me all at once, I can bear it." Sacred Master Yunzhao took a deep breath, intending to hear everything that had happened to him during this period.
She thought that no matter how shocking or unconventional other things were, nothing could compare to this.
but...
A look of sorrow and grief crossed Chang Ling'er's face as she softly said, "And... the Dean... has fallen."
Sacred Master Yunzhao was taken aback.
After realizing what she had heard, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
This day... has finally come.
And it arrived so quickly!
Meanwhile, outside the secluded training grounds of Heaven-Reaching Institute, Sacred Master Ziyan stepped out with a smile on her face, facing the long-awaited sunlight, and exhaled a long breath of pent-up frustration.
The Thearch Realm Eighth Stage has now been achieved!
That's wonderful!
She slowly curved her lips into a smile, her eyes sparkling, almost subconsciously thinking of Sacred Master Yunzhao.
The Sacred Master Ziyan's expression turned cold, and she couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
Both she and that woman Yunzhao had been stuck at the Thearch Realm Seventh Stage for many years, unable to even scratch the surface of the eighth level. But this time, she had successfully broken through. Unless the other woman also successfully broke through to the eighth level like her, what could she possibly have to compare with her?
Even a single level between the Thearch Realm represents a world of difference!
and...
Thinking about her understanding of Sacred Master Yunzhao, Sacred Master Ziyan felt even more confident of victory and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
As her longtime rival, she knew very well that Yunzhao's family background was not as substantial as hers.
As a notoriously bottom-ranked academy, the Supreme Institute couldn't possibly provide enough resources to support that woman's breakthrough.
so...
This time, there's a high probability that Yunzhao's breakthrough will fail!
And she has already succeeded.
Thinking of this, the smile on Sacred Master Ziyan's face became even more pronounced and vibrant.
As she left her secluded retreat, she took a few steps outside and saw all her disciples standing neatly at the entrance.
As soon as the woman in purple stepped forward, everyone bowed in unison.
Congratulations, teacher, on breaking through your cultivation level!
"Hmm, not bad." Sacred Master Ziyan smiled, and with a casual wave of her hand, she brought all her disciples back to her palace.
She sat on the familiar soft couch, her light purple gauze robe fluttering like clouds. The Sacred Master Ziyan smiled as she looked at her disciples lying on the couch, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
This time, her seclusion wasn't long, but the academy competition should have already ended. She just didn't know what rankings her disciples had achieved.
"During my seclusion this time, I have broken through to the Thearch Realm Eighth Stage."
She first shared some good news, and seeing the joy on the faces of her disciples, she chuckled and continued.
"Judging from the improvement in your internal energy, it seems you haven't neglected your cultivation during my seclusion. What about Yunzhao? Has she made a breakthrough? Did any of you win any rankings in the competition? Did Wan Renshan participate in this competition, and who was the champion? Also, please tell me everything that has happened in the academy recently."
Upon hearing the series of questions posed by Sacred Master Ziyan, the disciples couldn't help but exchange glances, their expressions incredibly complex, especially Yun Qingming, whose face was particularly grim.
Among them, their eldest brother sighed, took a step forward, and answered.
"Reporting to the teacher, Sacred Master Yunzhao has failed his breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Sacred Master Ziyan's eyes lit up immediately.
really!
She said that Yunzhao, that woman, could never catch up with her!
The difference between the Thearch Realm Seventh Stage and Thearch Realm Eighth Stage the Emperor Realm is not small.
As the saying goes, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step.
Let's see how that woman behaves in front of me in the future!
